| Visualizations and analytics for supply chains
The supply chain isn't about the flow of physical goods anymore. It is
as much about the flow of information as it is about the products and the
money that changes hands. With the advent of Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP), data is generally available, but converting or morphing that data into
actionable information is the role of business analytics. Information and
feature extraction is much easier when data is visualized, compared to
working with raw numbers. This article helps developers with visualizing data
for supply chains.

| Data mining in a document world
Predictive analytics, business intelligence, and data mining in
general all require the storage and processing of complex and often wildly
different data structures as the information is processed, resolved, and
summarized. It is highly likely, particularly for business and financial
information, that a significant amount of that data comes from relational
databases. These follow a strict structure and require a significant amount of
preparation in terms of designing your schema and data model beforehand. The
new breed of NoSQL and document-based databases make much of this processing
simpler because you can create and dump information in a flexible format.
Additionally, you can work on methods to extract that data in the fixed format you require. In this
article, I look at how to use document-based databases for data processing
and analytics as part of your overall database solution.
